Chapter 804 The Truth Department Members
Soon, Lu Yu and Han Xuefei returned to the mine on the Water Spirit Dragon.
The mine had been cleaned up, including the corpses. The group of people who had been rescued had also made preparations to start mining.
After Lu Yu landed, he kept his Water Spirit Dragon and walked toward Xu Kai.
“Captain Lu, the corpses have been cleaned up, and our brothers have been reorganized. We can start work at any time!”
Xu Kai was a soldier, and a soldier must obey his superiors. Therefore, he treated Lu Yu as he would a regular captain.
Even though Lu Yu had not officially accepted his position as captain, he did not say anything when Xu Kai called him that.
“Tell me, how do people from the Truth Department usually come to collect the ores?”
“They have a teleportation portal set up here, so they will be teleported here directly when they come.”
Xu Kai began to lead the way as he spoke and brought Lu Yu to an array.
“It’s this teleportation array. They would be teleported here when they arrive.”
“In other words, they will appear right here two days later?”
“That’s right. Two days later, they will come on time at noon. After collecting the ores, they will usually leave without delay.”
The surroundings of the teleportation array were relatively empty and far from the base. If a battle broke out here, it would not damage anything serious.
“That’s good. If they come, I’ll take action. You guys can continue to mine.”
“By the way, how was the battle with the Truth Department in the early stages?” Lu Yu asked.
“When we arrived as the first batch of soldiers, we underestimated their strength, so our losses were quite heavy,” Xu Kai said, replying with shame.
“However, what scared us the most was their means of attack. That terrifying dragon brought an army that covered the sky, swarming us from all directions. We were no match for them and were powerless to fight back.”
Xu Kai seemed to have fallen into a painful memory. His face turned pale and worsened as his body started trembling.
“That was a terrifying day, as none of us could resist the onslaught. The only thing we could do was run! After we escaped, the mine was taken over by another group of people. They captured and locked us up after that, probably afraid we would use the Claine Crystal to escape…”
Lu Yu nodded. “I didn’t expect them to release the Death Spirit Dragon to fight you. They’re really ruthless.”
Facing the Death Spirit Dragon, it was a given that these soldiers were powerless; they couldn’t even fight back.
Lu Yu looked at Han Xuefei and said, “We’ll rest here for two days. When the Truth Department comes, we’ll catch them off guard, capture them, and find out their headquarters! ”
With that, the two returned to the base and tidied their rooms.
Two days pa.s.sed quickly. The rescued soldiers continued to mine and dug up many new crystals and ores.
At noon, Lu Yu and Han Xuefei walked toward the teleportation array.
The others had also stopped working and stationed themselves near their base, watching Lu Yu from afar.
They all knew that if Lu Yu could not defeat those who came from the Truth Department, they would no longer need to continue working.
Standing before the array, Lu Yu endured the harsh wind and sun as he waited.
He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.
“There are still five minutes left. It’s almost time…”
Han Xuefei raised her staff and looked ahead coldly.
At that moment, a light shone in the air. A ball of light began to expand gradually, turning into a rift.
This spatial rift was the teleportation gate!
“The teleportation gate has opened. Prepare to welcome them.” Lu Yu smiled faintly and looked straight ahead.
Around the base, all the soldiers got nervous when they saw the teleportation gate open.
“The teleportation gate has opened. A fight will probably start soon!”
“Do you think these two young fighters can defeat them?”
“Why are you asking this? Of course, they will win! He had tamed two ancient dragons. Do you even know what that means?”
“That’s true. Once his two giant dragons show up, I doubt many in this world are his match!”
“That’s not necessarily true. The Truth Department also has its fair share of strong cultivators. Moreover, the Ember Empire is also rapidly reviving its members.”
…
Everyone was confident that Lu Yu would defeat the incoming enemies, but they were skeptical that he would defeat the Truth Department and the Ember Empire. After all, the latter was on an entirely different level.
At that moment, a few figures walked out of the portal, one after another.
The person leading the way was a man in black armor holding a pitch-black spear.
After he walked out, he looked around and finally set his eyes on Lu Yu.
“You… Who are you? Where is Li Deng?”
Lu Yu sneered. “Don’t you know me? Why don’t you take a closer look?”
The man took a serious look and couldn’t help but take two steps back. He quickly took out a photo after that.
“It’s you! Lu Yu! Why are you here?”
“Nonsense, this is my mine. Why do you think I’m here?”
“Bulls.h.i.t, this is a mine that belongs to the Truth Department.”
Lu Yu’s eyes turned cold, and he immediately took out his Star Piercing Demonic Sword. Although this sword was not sharpened and was not at its full potential, it was still much stronger than most of his weapons.
“I guess I’ll use you guys to practice my swordsmanship today!”
The sharp sword was drawn, and the flawless sword emitted a brilliant aura.
“What?” The man spat disdainfully. “Do you think I don’t know your strength? I’m a Diamond-ranked cultivator, and you’re only Platinum-ranked!”
Hearing this, the people around the base frowned. “s.h.i.t, this guy is Diamond-ranked?”
“d.a.m.n it; the Truth Department has too many strong powerhouses. If someone running an errand is already a Diamond-ranked cultivator, wouldn’t those higher-ups of the Truth Department be at least Starlight or Moonlight?”
“The Truth Department is full of strong cultivators. I’m afraid the military will have to mobilize every man we have to fight against them!”
“If Lu Yu is only at Platinum rank, he must rely on his dragons. Otherwise, he won’t have a chance.”
However, they panicked when they saw that Lu Yu only drew his sword and did not call out his dragons.
“Captain Lu Yu, please release your dragons to fight!”
“Put away your sword! We will definitely win if it’s your dragons fighting!”
“Captain Lu, the opponent is stronger than you!”
They were all fl.u.s.tered, afraid that Lu Yu was suicidal.
However, Lu Yu smiled. “Do you think I need my dragons to kill these minions? That would be too wasteful.”
